***THIS IS A REUPLOAD OF THE ORIGINAL EPISODE POSTED ON MAY 12 2021. DUE TO SOME ISSUES THE EPISODE WAS REMOVED, BUT HAS NOW BEEN EDITED TO MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS***

The end of Season 2 of In Living Spanglish has finally arrived! Sadly, Veronica (verofuerte_) could not make it to the finale, but in her place we are joined by the wonderful Rebecca Najera. An amazing journalist who is still on the rise, who joined us to share her story of growing up Mexican, Black, and white, and how her unique upbringing shaped her life. We also get in the weirdness of the Cinco De Mayo, along with the usual staple of Unpopular Opinions. And, of course we can't let you go without some Good Lookin Out movie recommendations.

In Living Spanglish is here again!

ARTWORK: @shakawwwww

Another week, another dose of ILS! This week gets uncomfortable when we uncover some seedy 4Chan posts that hit close to home and the mujeres around us. We also acknowledge the passing of DMX, Kanye's documentary announcement, Vero's REALLY angry about candles, Ricardo might get canceled with THIS unpopular opinion, and more!

What tastes even better than a crisp Topo Chico Hard Seltzer? The sound of a new In Living Spanglish Podcast!   

It's only once in a blue moon that you get the perfect combo of lap dancing demons, immigrant parent expectations, white boy summers, and Powerpuff Girl references, and that moment is here on the In Living Spanglish podcast!

ILS here once again, and you know what's buzzing with more awkwardness and entertainment than the 2007 animate film "Bee Movie" starring Jerry Seinfeld? Vero's attempting to make connections on Bumble! What a way to start the show if I do say so myself. But, with those lighthearted moments, also arrives more somber ones. We discuss the recent tragedies that have affected the Asian community throughout the country, and a more deeper conversation that brings into question how other minorities view the validity of the Asian community status as a minority themselves. The seriousness doesn't stop there, as we also talk about the mass immigration of children from Central America and how the U.S. is responding this time. Lastly, the triple threat of Unpopular Opinions, What The Hell Twitter, and Good Looking Out comes out swinging hard! Stay tune for this and more. Don't forget to subscribe and share! (peep the new artwork too...)

Before we get into it, we need to acknowledge that this episode was recorded during what is now one year since the heinous murder of Breonna Taylor. Even though her killing and the subsequent search for justice is not a topic, this episode is dedicated in her memory. This episode is also dedicated to the all the lives lost in the last year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic within the United States. Please visit the links at the bottom of the description for more information regarding both Breonna Taylor and COVID-19. 

You've ever made a bet to eat nothing but delicious tacos for 60 days straight while at the same time losing weight just to win $50 from your little brother? Well, that's what Vero has on her mind. We also talk about how she beasted on this past week's National Pie Day. Ricardo gets into his theory as to why Hispanics have such an affinity for Chinese food, and why do those who have a more emotional connection to something feel like they have more "rights" to that thing. Additionally, we bring up the topic of "revoking someone's Latino card and the impact it can have on their identity. Of course to round things out, we got you cover on the lunacy of the bird app with "What the Hell Twitter", along with some more exclusive watches that take a little bit of coin to view on "Good Looking Out". Check it out and make sure to subscribe and share the podcast!
